6.UAR Preparation for Undergraduate Research

Involves choosing and developing a research topic, surveying previous work and publications, research topics in EECS, industry best practices, design for robustness, technical presentation, authorship and collaboration, and ethics. Registered students must submit an approved proposal for an Advanced Research Project before Add Date. Forms and instructions are available in the EECS Undergraduate Office. May be repeated for credit for a maximum of 12 units.A. P. Chandrakasan, D. M. Freeman

6.111 Introductory Digital Systems Laboratory

Lectures and labs on digital logic, sequential building blocks, finite-state machines, timing and synchronization, and FPGA-based design prepare students for the design and implementation of a final project of their choice: games, music, digital filters, wireless communications, video, or graphics. Extensive use of Verilog for describing and implementing digital logic designs on a state-of-the-art FPGA. Students engage in extensive written and oral communication exercises. 12 Engineering Design Points.A.P. Chandrakasan
